“When I came to Mumbai from Indore I knew nobody. Luckily, Pyaar Ka Punchnama worked for me. And I can say this much today for myself… no one turns me away or refuses to meet me. Yes, the doors are open. But what I find when I go through the door is another matter.”

The young actor also said he is getting offers from big banners, but not roles that are good enough. “I can’t grab anything that comes my way just because it’s from a big banner. So far I’ve done well enough for myself. In fact, I’ve just bought myself a BMW. For a small-town boy with no Bollywood connections… that’s quite a way to go,” he said.
